We leave the last store, and go to the car. As we get in the car, he says to me "That was really good that we went there." I was like O...K...why? He pulls a $5 bill out of his pocket and says "Cuz this was just laying on the sidewalk." CITBAugust 20th, 2007 at 12:17 pmCash in the Bag update here: I had $11 in bills, and $10 in quarters. Whoo-hoo! So, $21 to the Vegas account! Spendings, Sun 8/19August 20th, 2007 at 12:15 pmGorceries: $149 I'm actually doing...good.August 18th, 2007 at 02:16 pmSo, as you all know, I suck with this controlling spending thing. I never keep to a budget no matter how devoted I am to it. I have learned for me, I have to spend on the necessities, but really distinguish between a need and a want. I spend too much during the weekends. Especially weekends when I get paid. Which this is one of. I need to do good. I need your help. Spendings 8/17, FridayAugust 18th, 2007 at 02:04 pmPayday, so of course, I spent. Not too much, but I did get my sis and my friend A birthday presents. Ate lunch out with friends at work. Then me and the boy had dinner out and went to the bookstore. Our weekend splurge. Good time and less than $100 spent all day. A little bitAugust 18th, 2007 at 02:01 pmWe went to the boostore last night and I saved $4 on our purchase by using my membership card. It's a fab card. I save 10% on everything. It costs $25 a year to have, but I save over $100 a year using it, so it pays for itself pretty quickly. Spendings Thurs 8/16August 17th, 2007 at 12:47 pmFirst, I must say, Today is Elvis D-Day. 30 years ago today Elvis passed away. Payday and the savings grows...August 17th, 2007 at 12:45 pmOK, only by a little, but as I have learned here, a lot of littles add up fast! Leftovers to VegasAugust 16th, 2007 at 12:51 pmTomorrow is payday (yay!) and right now I have $31.86 in my checking account. When today is over, I will transfer the leftvers into my Vegas fund, but I got a little antsy and wanted to do it now. SO, I added $11.86 to Vegas and left $20 in my checking in case I needs $ for something unplanned today. That Fab Apartment...August 16th, 2007 at 12:46 pmA while ago I posted about a fab apartment, with fireplaces and 11 ft high ceilings...well, we found out it is ours and we can move in on Oct 1st!!!! I'm so excited! Of course, we still have to see the inside to make sure we like it, LOL. Spendings Wednesday, 8/15August 16th, 2007 at 12:42 pmBottle of ginger ale for upset tummy: $1.50 Happy Blogoversary to me!August 14th, 2007 at 12:40 pmToday is my 1 year anniversary for writing here. Thank you all so much for the advice, the words of wisdom, the support, the encouragement, and even the tuff-lovin when I needed it. OT Monday 8/13August 14th, 2007 at 12:32 pmI need a place to start tracking my overtime for work. I figure since I make time and a half when I do OT, this is a great place to track it. Monday Spendings 8/13August 14th, 2007 at 12:31 pmAte breaky at home, brought lunch to work. Yay me! Spendings Sat and Sun 8/11 & 8/12August 13th, 2007 at 12:32 pmSaturday free lunch with my friend got messed up. She had a gict certificate for Outback, so we were going to go there. She came up my way, and then we went to go to the restaurant and saw it had been closed! It was gone! Grrr...so we drove around a little looking for another Outback but couldn't find one. So we ended up at the 99 here lunch was $15 for me. Ouch. Anyone Know of a Magazine for Savings?August 11th, 2007 at 02:08 pmI'm looking for a magazine that can give me new ideas on how to save money and make more money, and reduce debt, etc. I used to read Budget Living, which I loved, but it is out of print now. Plans for the weekend...August 11th, 2007 at 02:03 pmWe have low-key plans since money is tight and I'm exhausted from being sick last week. Today (Sat) I am going to go to the mall to return 2 pairs of pants I bought. I'm kinda pissed. I tried them both on, and wasn't sure which pair I wanted (need them for work). So I brought them both home. Well, the black pair doesn't fit. I had tried on a pair of brown ones that fit great but decided I wanted them in black, so I just got the same size in the black ones. Can't even get the damn things buttoned. And they are the same size and the same pants...WTF??? Anywho, so I decided to return the gray pair and now I have to also return the black pair since they don't fit. Hopefully I can find another black pair that fits, since I seriously need them for work. The pair I have now are actually ripped along the bottom and tearing into shreds. Going to hem them, but the um, well, crotch area is getting really thin and will probably rip soon. Spendings Thurs and Fri 8/9 & 8/10August 11th, 2007 at 01:57 pmThursday rocked...NO SPEND DAY!! Debt TallyAugust 11th, 2007 at 01:33 pmIt's been a long time since I did a debt tally. I figured I'm long ovedue...
